    Shoutout to Camtheman3425 for the video wall idea!
    A note about clip selection:
    My selection process was highly personal, in that clips were chosen
    based on moments in Line Rider tracks that have inspired me.
    I make no claim that the clips or tracks in this compilation are
    objectively better or more important than any other moments
    in other Line Rider tracks that others may consider to be better
    or more important in their eyes.
    In other words, this is merely a collection of some of my favorite
    moments and tracks in Line Rider history, not an argument on
    what tracks should be considered "the best".
    I also refrained from including any of my own tracks in this
    compilation, with the exception of one in the video wall.

    Line Rider isn't just a game. Line Rider is an art form.

      @@loganroman5306 Minecraft doesn't really have a goal. Is it therefore a toy? Or a fully functional game anyway? As a matter of fact, Line Rider cannot be interpreted as a game because it simply lacks many interactive features that make the game alive. It is just a player and static environment, nothing else. It's merely just a simulator, not a real game. What makes a game a game is the use of dynamic entities (typically NPC, monsters, some enemy guys, or even allies, or some entities you can interact with - doors, windows, some buttons, levers, electrical equipment, pretty much anything you can interact with), integrated to the environment. That's what defines the game. It's not the story, the goal, it's pretty much rich environment that defines a game. Line rider is what? A guy riding a sleigh, and the only interaction is the collision with the static environment, nothing else, just basic function to make it work. That ain't game even if it had a goal. Movie has a goal. Can I consider movie being a game? No. Because you don't actually interact with it. And it features pretty much anything the game features - some characters, rich environment, there are some requisites that the characters can interact with, but the one important thing is missing. There's no player character, people can't interact with it, only watch it. That's another extreme. You took it from the wrong end. Game doesn't have to have a goal. Game has to entertain you in such way that it is actually your action that makes the thing move forward, therefore it requires your interaction to get you entertained, not just watch it. But in order to entertain you, it has to provide something for you to interact with. Line rider - you're just being there, only controlling where that character is going and where does he land. Nothing else. Minecraft doesn't have a real goal, you just play randomly, exploring the world, mining, fighting with monsters, it is pretty much a simulator of survival adventure. But it is fully functional game, because it has rich environment, dynamic interactive entities, and some mobile characters and NPCs to interact with. And you can do pretty much anything. And I could continue on and on and on, you get the point, right?

    Line Rider is one of those things like Commander Keen that I played as a kid yet only recently found out it has a fanbase that persists to this day. Commander Keen ended on a cliffhanger that promised a 3 part trilogy _and the fans made it happen._

    Rag doll is among my favorite. It may be short and simplistic, but it brought several techniques to the table to make it what it is, and used some that some never seen. He'll, some people are still trying to figure out how some of the techniques work and how to use them. On top off that, there aren't much line rider courses where the rider is "dead" and is going on a journey, with that caliber of skill no less. It was truly an innovative masterpiece.

    Makes me feel great that, as insignifigant as I was to the community, that I was was a part of it and that we were able to do so much in just a toy and a forum. Ben, you should have included yourself in these videos, but we all knew you wouldnt. BTTW shouldnt have been a part of this man! Sorry that the community has came and gone and gotten to the point where you couldnt admin the site ):. But thank you man!

    • @rabidsquirrel117
      @rabidsquirrel117  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      One of the most important and most-overlooked roles in the community is the role of the enthusiastic fan. All of the videos in this compilation were made possible in part by people such as yourself cheering on the creators. So, know that you were not just part of the community as a creator of videos, but also as a fan and supporter. You've helped me and I'm sure you've helped others with motivation and inspiration.
      I may be done with administration for now, but I'm nowhere near done with the game, btw. I'm not on WRTL much anymore but feel free to follow me other places (links in the description above). I don't think the community is over - because the community need not be confined to WRTL.
